By the morning of November 4, 2026, water supply was partially restored in Kyiv following emergency outages caused by the situation in the power grid. Kyivvodokanal specialists and repair crews worked continuously all night to stabilize pressure in the water supply network and return water to residents' homes. According to the city administration, water supply has been fully restored on the Left Bank and in the Obolon District, while lower pressure persists on the Right Bank, meaning water may not reach upper floors.

Progress of Restoration Work

As reported by the Kyiv City State Administration, water supply restoration work continued without interruption all night. Repair crews and Kyivvodokanal specialists are continuing stabilization efforts aimed at increasing pressure in the water network. The goal is to ensure water delivery to all floors in every district of the city. The authorities promise to provide additional updates on subsequent stages and the full normalization of water supply in the capital.

District Situation

As of the morning of November 4, water supply on the Left Bank and in the Obolon District has been fully restored. The situation remains more complex on the Right Bank: lower pressure persists in the network, which may prevent water from reaching the upper floors of residential buildings. City authorities urge residents to monitor updates on the official channels of the KCMA and Kyivvodokanal.

Providing Drinking Water

To supply Kyiv residents with drinking water in districts where water service has not yet been fully restored, pump room complexes began connecting to generators starting at 08:00 on November 4. The nearest operating pump room running on an autonomous power source can be found on the interactive map of KP Kyivvodfond. This allows residents to get drinking water even in areas where network pressure remains insufficient.

Causes of the Outages

Emergency water supply outages resulted from massive attacks on facilities within Kyiv's regional energy hub, as well as damage to generation and electricity transmission systems nationwide. Consequently, Ukrenergo introduced emergency power outages in the capital. Due to voltage deficits and infrastructure damage, the city's main water supply facilities were de-energized, leading to a temporary total halt in water supply across most Kyiv districts and disruptions in public electric transport.

What's Next

City authorities confirm that stabilization work is ongoing. Kyivvodokanal specialists are focused on evening out network pressure and fully restoring water supply in all districts. Information on the timeline for full normalization and further stages of work will be provided additionally through official KCMA channels.
